This paper was written by Todd Reade, President of TransMagic and published in March 12, 2009, edition of the Cadalyst MCAD Tech Newsletter. In the article, he describes why you need a multi-CAD interoperability solution and how to select the right one for your office.
"Many companies still do not realize that CAD data-exchange products, which address interoperability issues, are available today and can quickly save suppliers thousands of dollars in outsourcing translation costs or hundreds of man-hours in manual labor on a single project. The return on investment for a company using CAD data translation software can be as short as a few months."

The Aberdeen Group
The Report recommends the use of multi-CAD translation software such as TransMagic to reduce the problems and hidden costs associated with CAD data exchange between multiple CAD/CAM/CAE applications. “Best-in-class performers are ten times more likely to turn towards 3D CAD file translation applications such as TransMagic to insulate themselves from the disruptive effects of re-creating designs in different formats,” reported Chad Jackson, Research Director and Author, Aberdeen Group.

Globalization in the engineering and manufacturing industry is increasing the need for 3D CAD interoperability and data exchange. Design engineers and manufacturing professionals continue to wrestle with the monster of CAD data exchange between computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) while trying to increase productivity and create a competitive edge.
